    I believe the house bill is more toward regulation than a ban. ICBW. So if the house passes its bill, there may be some reconciliation. But I fear this will be like a compromise with my wife, i.e., she wants vanilla ice cream, I want chocolate ice cream, so we compromised and got vanilla ice cream.
  2. I had the point side of the brisket at our local Rudy's once and it was inedible. That pretty much spawned my complaint about how terrible the trinity is there.

    Double the dispensaries to six, actually. Lucky us.

    Most companies state that the person ordering them is required to be aware of local laws. Because it's legal federally, they'll ship USPS, aka the largest distributor of contraband in the US.
  5. Rudy's is a taco, sandwich, stuffed potato joint. That's it. It's fine for the rest, but don't expect bbq that isn't macerated and mixed with sauce to taste good from there.
  6. Same. It happens. We don't take it personally. But we remark about a good-night's-sleep when it all synchs up and we sleep in the same bed, which is most nights. You get used to your humans.
  7. Have you rebooted your machine?
  8. Looks like they close at 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. If they're open, I'm guessing they have a good selection of food. It's not a line-up type of joint. It's like the much better (to me) version of Terry Black's.
  9. I thought he was the brother that was kicked out of the Sammich/Meats business. The one in Houston was pretty good back in the day. I didn't know they still sold them anywhere.
  10. Solid story. A lot to unpack there. Sorry to have assisted Brisket in derailing this thread. I haven't thread jacked anything this much since three days ago when I made a high-school science, "keep-your-units-consistent joke," and set off a firestorm of Ford/Chevy/Dodge enthusiasts arguing about metric versus English designations for small block engines and which was called what when. Again, my sincere apologies. Slava Ukraini!
  11. Still off topic When funny goes wrong: Back in law school, my wife and I went out for dinner. She wore this dress that probably was a little past its early/mid 90s prime. Two solid, diagonal stripes. She looked great. So hot (no pics). But all I could think of was that Seinfeld episode where the girl wears the same dress on every date, so I say to her, "I love that dress. You look like a super hero." She was gracious and gave me a chuckle, a smile, or a glare. Who can remember? Anyway, years later, she told me she never wore that dress again. It didn't land as funny at all. Oops. More recently, an old picture of her wearing the dress occasionally will pop up on the Amazon FireTV slide show screen saver [hyphens omitted]. I'll give her a look and a smile, and she smiles and shakes here head at my dumb ass. Still got it.
  12. I dunno. Can you pound a twelve-inch spike through a board with your penis? Also, over time, I learned that if I liked a girl, I needed to make my intentions clear pretty early. I had a lot of women friends back then. Not complaining about that. Just an observation.
  13. I didn't develop real game until a bit later. But I was pretty funny. I leaned into it. It eventually morphed into game. I think my biggest challenge was that I don't suffer fools well, regardless of gender. But I could be temporarily flexible on that score back in the day given the right set of circumstances. Alcohol helped.
  14. That article calls it everything from "The Gulf" to the "waters off the Texas coast." It avoids calling it the "Gulf of" anything.
  15. I thought it was A-B-A-B-A-B-Up-Down-Up-Down? Or was that NES?
  16. Seriously, though. The UC schools are so hard to get into. Really impressive!
  17. Late, but, "A stretcher for his balls?" https://clip.cafe/the-bad-news-bears-1976/cleveland-stretcher/
  18. Man, they fucking clothes-lined Sid the Science Kid!
  19. Go Banana Slugs! edit: Oh wait. Go Gouchos! Congrats to her!
  20. I think the girl on the right is the main reason why my son is taking German at UT this semester. Maybe not her, but similar.
  21. I read that in your avatar's voice.
